Abstract
Triiodothyronine concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in sera of 252 patients with various thyroid disorders after alcohol extraction. The serum triiodothyronine levels were found to be 155.5 ± 37.8 (1 S.D.) ng% in 160 euthyroid subjects, 77.6 ±16.0 (1 S.D.) ng% in 30 hypothyroid patients and 331 ±112 (1 S.D.) ng% in 62 thyrotoxics. The diagnostic accuracy of serum triiodothyronine level was found to be somewhat better for diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in comparison to that of serum thyroxine. The incidence of T-3 toxicosis in this series was 4.8%, which was not different from that reported by others, in spite of mild iodine deficiency prevailing in this region.
